San Sebastián Travel Guide Resources & Trip Planning Info by Rick Steves
"Shimmering against golden beaches and capped by twin peaks at either end, I found Concha Bay to include a cute little island at its center and a delightful beachfront promenade that runs its length; a charismatic old town anchors one end while a smart shopping district lies in the middle. The romantic setting, with a soaring statue of Christ gazing over the city, gives the bay a mini Rio de Janeiro aura. Although there's not much formal sightseeing, the scenic bay itself provides a pleasant introduction to Spain's Basque Country, and as a culinary capital its local restaurants fiercely compete to serve some of the best tapas anywhere." - RICKSTEVES
I loved the size of the beach. Despite the crowds, it never felt overcrowded. If you enjoy proper swimming, you can swim long distances across the width of the beach. There are also several good restaurants within walking distance. Plus, there’s convenient access to public restrooms. I would definitely recommend it.

One cannot come to San. Sebastian and not come to the beach. For goodness sake, this is the paradise part of SS.
Full of people but ALWAYS enough space for everyone.
Amazing and a must come for the sunshine!

As far as I can tell it is no less than the most beautiful city beach or bay in Europe. Of course you have to be lucky with the weather, as on hot days it feels like the whole city is digging through the sand. The huge dimensions only become clear on a walk or a drive up one of the two hills (Monte Igueldo or Urgull).
It is a little unusual that there is so little catering right on the promenade.

Beautiful beach. Mostly always well kept. Even if you don't like sand is very nice to stroll along just about any time of day.

Fantastic city beach with safe swimming water. There is an arched promenade allowing for shade if needed with young children.

Now I know why people come here. The beach has great sand and views. There were many people here as it was August but there were still spots on the beach available.
